Irritant / corrosive response data:
No corneal effects noted. Iridial inflammation noted in one treated eye at 24 hours, but no other iridial effects noted. Minimal to moderate conjunctival irritation was noted in all treated eyes one hour after treatment and in two treated eyes at the 24-hour observation. Minimal conjunctival redness persisted in one treated eye at the 48-hour observation. Changes fully reversible within 72 hours.
Other effects:
None

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Remarks:
Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
In an eye irritation study conducted according to OECD Test Guideline 405 and in compliance with GLP (reliability score 1) cyclohexyldimethoxymethylsilane was not irritating to the eyes of rabbits.
